That's actually rather horrifying, at least I think. I mean, that employee's an honest man, but that kind of access is way, way too easily abused.

Ya gotta admit though (or maybe you don't Razz ) - the "No it's not" was pretty funny.

And i liked the attempt to change it to "censorship" after a few password rejections.

for our banks you normally need both a password and a pin number, the bank person should not have had access to both.

if my understanding is correct.

It was a funny *idea*. But not one that should have ever been put into practice.

'man-drought' in Australia



"The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up.

Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck."

Swedish researchers find the bad husband gene. And 40% of men have it.

First tested on voles, later on twins: "Men with a certain variant, known as an allele, of the vasopressin 1a gene, called 334, tended to score especially low on a standard psychological test called the Partner Bonding Scale. They were also less likely to be married than men carrying another form of the gene. And carrying two copies of the 334 allele doubled the odds that the men had undergone some sort of marital crisis (for example, the threat of divorce) over the past year."

The gene doesn't have a similar effect on women.

I love the random George Clooney photo! Because, of course, he's been in Sweden taking the test, no?

Plans to abolish car-parking charges in hospital car-parks has been weirdly huge news on the BC today. I can't help thinking it's a retrograde thing to do in city hospitals, as I don't think anything which actively contributes to car culture (and incidentally rewards car drivers at the expense of everyone else) is a very health-promoting thing to do.

i actually think this is a good idea as the charges are normally huge! i have yet to go to a hospital which has good transport links. where i currently live, there is no public transport from my house, even if there is transport to the hospitals from somewhere else. and when i visited a friend in hospital at university it was a tube, then a train, then a bus, then a 20 minute walk. as a visitor it's not so bad, but for a patient going in for treatment? i think it could really get them down.

I was referring to city hospitals, though. Hospital car parks take money to build, light, clean, repair and staff, all of which costs money for the health authorities. Nobody is offering to pay my bus fare or taxi fare to the hospital. Why should car owners get subsidised transport at the expense of non-car-owners, when the money will just have to be taken out of somewhere else (ie: patient care) which affects everybody?
